A college group of anthropology students go to the remote forest of Muthuvan Mala, under the oversight of Prof. Shankaranarayanan, in order to study the tribal life which had existed there. A student, Sunny, unknowingly unleashes the spirit of Neeli, who is a ghost seeking revenge against the Thripangod royal family, one of whom had killed her and her lover. Consequently, Neeli starts killing off the students one by one and the police call for sorcerer Vadakkedath Namboothiri to be summoned.
After release, a film critic from indiainfo.com noted that "It has a creditable screenplay which develops the vendetta plot convincingly".[2] A critic from BizHat wrote that " A change from the usual horror films and the best after Akashganga of Vinayan".[3] In December 2000, the film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Manthira Kottai to make most of Vikram's newfound fame following the success of Sethu (1999).[4]
